Penguin Coding — Robotics

My son attended the Penguin Coding Robotics program in Brooklyn, and overall, it was a solid experience. Led by an enthusiastic instructor named Mia, the kids got to build and program their own small robots, which was a highlight for my son. He particularly enjoyed the creative aspect of designing the robots and figuring out how to make them move. The group was small, so Mia was able to engage with each child individually. However, the pickup process could be a bit chaotic, and we often found ourselves waiting in line for a while, which was a bit frustrating. Despite that, my son made a new friend, and I felt he learned valuable coding basics along the way. With the price range being on the higher side, I would recommend it, but be prepared for some logistical annoyances.

My son recently attended the Penguin Coding Robotics program in Brooklyn, and overall, we had a solid experience. He is quite shy and usually hesitates to engage in group activities, but the small class size helped him feel more comfortable. The instructor, Mia, was very engaging and seemed to have a knack for connecting with the kids. They built simple robots and programmed them to navigate an obstacle course, which my son found both challenging and fun. However, I did find the drop-off process a bit chaotic, with many parents arriving at the same time, making it confusing at first. The program costs around $350, which feels reasonable given the hands-on experience. If you have a child in the 8-10 age range, I would recommend giving it a try, but be prepared for a bit of a hectic start. Overall, it was a positive experience and my son is excited to return next week.
